Shen Ningning felt like a warm current passed through her heart. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and said seriously: "Thank you."
She stretched out her little hand to take the key and account book, and asked curiously: "But you invested so much money. , I am the boss, so what do you do?"
Lu Shaoyuan suddenly patted his chest proudly: "I will be the second boss."
Wu'er and the refugees took the lead in shouting in unison: "Hello, first boss, second boss!"
Shen Ningning led everyone in I walked into the shop and opened the ledger to see where the expenses were spent.
However, at this glance, the little guy frowned his cute eyebrows, and confusion appeared on his chubby face.
"Lu Shaoyuan, why don't you write anything in this account book? Write down how much money you invested in the early stage, otherwise how will we divide the accounts?"
Lu Shaoyuan smiled and coughed lightly: "It's too troublesome, just think of it as a gift from me. ."
"No," Shen Ningning immediately asked someone to bring a writing brush: "Adults say that even brothers have to settle their accounts clearly. We have to write it down clearly."
"If your mother asks about it someday, you can explain it easily and let her know . You are really doing something, not fooling around." The little guy said, writing seriously.
"How much did it cost to renovate?" Shen Ningning asked.
"Not much, four hundred taels." Lu Shaoyuan answered honestly.
So, the little guy asked and Lu Shaoyuan answered. After a while, he finally calculated the general ledger.
Shen Ningning looked at the numbers on the account and widened her crystal black eyes.
"One hundred taels? Why is it less than just now?" Wu'er was shocked.
A refugee aunt patted him gently: "Look carefully, it's one thousand taels."
"One thousand taels, this, when will our lady go?" Some people were worried, and everyone looked at each other.
Lu Shaoyuan looked at Shen Ningning's porcelain face. She was silent, her long eyelashes hanging down in deep thought, as if she was seriously settling accounts in her mind.
He couldn't help but said: "I didn't want you to give me anything back at all, so when I renovated this place, I chose the best things."
Including the yard at the back, he expanded it to make it three people. There are separate houses in between to accommodate these refugees.
Shen Ningning calculated for a long time, but because there were so many numbers involved, the little guy's head was getting big.
She could only use a brush to write down on paper and calculate at the same time.
Lu Shaoyuan found it difficult and said, "You really don't have to pay me back. The worst is, just give me all your income for the first month after opening. Is that okay?"
But Shen Ningning said resolutely: "No, wait until I figure it out. There can be no confusion. Account."
At this time, a tall and thin man stood up.
"Miss, I... I know how to make an abacus. Why don't you let me try?"
Shen Ningning looked up at him. The man was one of the refugees she rescued. Everyone called him Uncle Zhong.
He looked over forty, and his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken at first. It was only after Shen Ningning had something to eat that he got better.
"Uncle Zhong, you actually know how to make an abacus?" Arithmetic is a job that only accountants of wealthy families can learn.
Uncle Zhong nodded implicitly: "I used to live in Jiangnan and worked as an accountant for a wealthy businessman."
Lu Shaoyuan was very happy and immediately waved: "Come here, bring him an abacus."
Uncle Zhong immediately said: "Trouble my second boss. Give me two, it will be faster."
Lu Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
When the entourage brought two abacus, the moment Uncle Zhong touched the beads, Shen Ningning felt that his submissive temperament was gone.
Instead, there was a calmness and calmness.
I saw Uncle Zhong doing calculations with his left and right hands at the same time, flipping the beads with his fingertips very fast, and mumbling words while doing calculations.
Everyone was very surprised.
After a while, Uncle Zhong finished the calculation, picked up his pen, and wrote down the incoming and outgoing items of various expenses on the rice paper. "The big boss and the second boss, if we calculate the profit based on the one thousand taels spent on the purchase, the best price for the things we sell is between two and four taels."
He even talked about store maintenance and other expenses. Not counting the money invested, the extra money spent on the store every day will cost five taels.
Uncle Zhong suggested selling some inexpensive things, with small profits but quick turnover, and a stable return on capital. It is estimated that the principal can be earned back within half a year.
After hearing so many of his professional suggestions, Shen Ningning opened her mouth in surprise.
"Uncle Zhong, you are so awesome." Wu'er's eyes widened in admiration: "You are so capable, why did you beg with us before? If you go to the city to find something to do, many people will definitely be rushing to get you!"
Lu Shaoyuan He also said: "Compared to the five accountants raised by my grandfather's family, they are not bad."
Uncle Zhong put down his calculations and his smile became timid again: "I contracted an illness on the road and was abandoned by my master. Without identity documents, you won't be able to enter the city."
Shen Ningning looked at the calculation he made seriously.
The little guy pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "This time, we are selling hot sweet water, and the price is still one or two for a large bowl."
Considering that the weather is getting colder, the previous water with rock sugar is no longer suitable.
If you want to make money, you have to change. In the future, you can't just sell sweet water, but also add other products.
No one has any opinions.
She began to assign everyone's responsibilities. Several young aunts worked in the kitchen as logistics, and the strong and tall men worked as store guards.
The remaining young and smart-looking men were arranged by Shen Ningning to serve as waiters.
The accountant was Uncle Zhong, and Wu'er was assigned to him as his assistant.
As for the management of the entire shop, Shen Ningning chose a steady woman, and everyone called her Yun Po.
After everything was discussed, an auspicious date was set and we waited for the opening.
Shen Ningning has more important things to do recently.
She is about to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to report.
The little guy told the crazy scholar the good news before, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.
I stayed up late and wrote a whole study journal for Shen Ningning, telling her to study hard even when she went to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.
At the end of October, in the rustling autumn wind, Shen Ningning was sent to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies by Mo Lingwei.
"Brother, there is actually no need for you to come and see me off. I will report it myself." Shen Ningning said to Mo Lingwei.
Outside the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there were already cars and horses like a dragon. When everyone saw the prince driving, their eyes were filled with inquiring curiosity.
When Mo Lingwei came down holding Shen Ningning's little hand, realization flashed in their eyes.
I had long heard that Princess Funing had a very good relationship with His Royal Highness, and now it turned out to be true.
"Today is your first day at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so of course I'm going to see you off." Mo Lingwei glanced at the others.
Then he asked: "Do you want to send you in? If I give you a few extra words of care, they will treat you with more respect."
Shen Ningning quickly waved her little hand: "No, brother, you go back, I will get to know the new classmates by myself."
Mo Lingwei nodded slightly, then got on the carriage and left.
As soon as he left, Shen Ningning was about to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences when she heard the clatter of horse hooves approaching from far away.
"Ning Ning." Xie Mingxu sat high on his horse and stopped in front of her.
Shen Ningning suddenly smiled brightly: "Brother, why are you here?"
Xie Mingxu got off the horse and said, "I came to see you specially, and by the way, I brought you the things that my father asked me to bring you." He
had suffered from insomnia the first day . I couldn't fall asleep at five o'clock in the morning. I have been like a wandering spirit for the past two days, and my mind feels empty...
